Ice Day

Today was my first school cancellation as a teacher. Ironically, I was disappointed. As the last day before Christmas break, the half day of exams and half day of grading was rather welcoming. Regardless, school was closed and students will have to make up those last two exams when we return in January. Sorry guys.

I had every great intention of being super productive today but most items on my 'to do' list fell by the wayside. However, I did have one great accomplishment today. I finished the 'winterizing' of my apartment. I had already applied winter stripping to my porch door but today I pulled out my window insulation kit and took care of all my windows- including the porch doors. The shrink wrapped plastic should help keep the insane wind gusts out and my cozy warm air in. It took quite a bit of time and it was quite the accomplishment. :)

Besides the window insulation, I slept in, watched the news, made waffles for breakfast, watched a little bit of "White Christmas", cleaned out my fridge, washed dishes, washed the floors, packed for vacation, and had a late lunch/early dinner with SJ when she got off work.

Thankfully IN roads are all ready for travel. The snow has finally stopped in MI after dumping nearly 12 inches in this past storm. Hopefully all will be plowed so I can make it the entire way home- because as of tomorrow morning, I'll be on my way. :)
